NEFCO is a designated Areawide Clearinghouse for Intergovernmental Review. NEFCO performs this review on behalf of Summit County. Organizations required to undergo this process as part of their request for federal and state funds may submit their proposal information to NEFCO to initiate a review. Only activities affecting Summit County communities are processed for intergovernmental review by NEFCO. For projects affecting Portage, Stark and Wayne County communities, please contact the county planning offices to find out their submission requirements.

Meetings of the Intergovernmental Review Committee take place on an as-needed basis, typically around the second Thursday of the month, and are open to the public. Please contact NEFCO beforehand since the lack of project review requests may result in a meeting cancellation.
